Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Solidify partner relationship with a written MOU that delineates partner roles and responsibilities -Partners coordinate outreach to target audience. Signed MOU is in place by the beginning of the first arts camp (June 1, 2015); Participation targets are achieved. 2: No potential or active participant or audience member experiences barriers that impede participation or access to participation. There is no reported or documented incidence of a child or audience member foregoing or being turned away from participation because of real/perceived barriers to participation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

An MOU was signed on May 1, 2015. Enrollment for Liberty Plaza was 45; on target. Enrollment at Calibre Ridge was below target. A signed MOU was, in and of itself, the indicator that the outcome was achieved. Enrollment records and an online database provided the means for tracking enrollment and participation rates. 2: There were no reported/documented incidences of a child or audience member foregoing or being turned away due to perceived/real barriers. There were instances in which accommodations and supports were needed/requested and provided to ensure full access and participation. With no instance of an enrolled child or adult visitor leaving or forgoing any arts camp activity, the determination can be made that the outcome was fully achieved.
